#10 Macarthur Park - Richard Harris, Diana Ross

I don't like either version.


Richard Harris  O0  I havent got Diana as the cover, so I searched on the net.  She did record a version but it was never released (apparently?)
I can see that it might be easy to mistake the two Diva's....................I mix them up all the time  :-[

That's cause it was Donna Summer who recorded a rather silly disco version of Macarthur Park.

A rubbish, pretentious song in the original IMO. :coolsmiley:

#15 Just The Way You Are - was written by Billy Joel and covered by Barry White
